I issue is the front top of my head, this product is for the back top....

The stupidest thing I have seen. Instead of a quick, clean, accurate dropper, you have to guestimate a 'half a cap' of foam in your palm and then work it into your hair. And then wash your hands. At least triples the pain in the butt factor of the regular Rogaine. And, the long bottle is not convenient for travel. I hope I was the only idiot who did not notice the 'foam' in the product description.

I have been using liquid Rogaine for about 5 years. I started right when I noticed my hair beginning to thin, which I think was key. It definitely prevented further hair loss and promoted hair growth.. Now here's the down side - flaking. Rogaine, in it's liquid form, flakes off. This is something that can definitely be an issue, and it's something that you should be aware of. So when Rogaine Foam came into the market, I tried it. I was hopeful, but I found that it weighted my hair down and left a residue in my hair, giving it the appearance of being thin (Keep in mind, I have a full head of hair. If you were to see me, you would never suspect I was losing my hair). Plus I noticed it is difficult to apply. Most of it gets on my hair, before it even reaches my scalp. I tend to use more than what is recommended, for that very reason. On the plus side, it doesn't flake off after it drys like liquid Rogaine, and it drys fast; however, overall, I would recommend the liquid Rogaine. I hope this was a helpful review.

Way too much perfume. It makes my eyes water. More expensive then the liquid.

The foam is easier to apply. Hair looks good when dry. Does not leave an odor in hair. Can see hair growth starting...

Using for a few months now and there is more hair on the top of my head. It works good to keep my hair managable. Regular gel is too stiff. This stuff is great.

Works but smells like perfume, so much so that people in elevators will wince. I stopped using this brand-name foam and switched to a generic brand of 5% minoxidil from one of those un-nameable big "membership" clubs. It costs a lot less than this foam, works just as well and doesn't smell bad.

I have used Rogain consistantly for more than 10 years, so I am comparing this foam version against the liquid form that you administer via dropper. I am rather miffed that the foam version has been heavily advertised as more preferable. I decided it was worth a try and ordered a 3 month supply. The first thing that struck me, upon spraying the foam onto my extended finger was the smell. The foam, like alot of reviewers have pointed out is flowery and not anything remotely near to what a grown man would want to emit. The foam product is advertised as more conveniant and can be applyed in a mere several seconds. That may be, but I personally would freely give up some conveniense for increased effectiveness, and certainly not the other way around. I looked online for information comparing the effectiveness of this foam verses the liquid version and have found nothing. The fact that the foam is not even deemed just as affective as the liquid makes me concerned enough not to use it. Baring any information about its effectiveness compared to the liquid make me rely completely on common sence, which tells me the the liquid form is more effective. With the dropper, I can apply the liquid directly to the scalp, precisely to the areas where my follicles need help. With the foam , much of it is left on top and within the strands of hair, not getting to the scalp where it ulitanately needs to go. Personally, I believe that the foam is less convenient. You need to get you fingers messy witht he foam. With the dropper, I often just sit in front of the TV, especially in the afternoon. Remember, you need to use this product twice a day, not just in the morning. With the dropper my hands stay dry and clean. Also with the dropper I can easily administer the exact amount recommended. With the foam, you have the guess at how much, you put on your finder, is the amount that would fill up the cap. Lack of comparative data, messy hands, bad smell, and guess work are more than enough reasons for me to never try this rotten foam product again. I hope they go back to just marketing the liquid version.

Works great[...]

I am a woman who was diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia (female pattern baldness). I have been using Rogaine for the past year and have seen TREMENDOUS results! My hair is thicker although it has not grown much in length. I noticed my husband's hair was thinning like mine, so I started using the Rogaine foam on him about 3 months ago. It's still too soon to see results, but I know from my own personal experience that results take several months to show. Also, another review mentioned hair falling out after a couple of months. That is actually a good thing, and proof that the product is working! My doctor explained that in order for the hair shaft to support more hair, it must first rid itself of the singular, non-viable hair. Therefore, you will notice some initial hair loss, followed by lots of thick, baby fine hairs that eventually grow in strong and healthy! The bottom line with this product, you must commit to using it continually or else your hair will go back to how it was before. Even though I'm a woman, my doctor has recommended it is okay for females to use the 5% strength. Honest! I'm a completely satisfied customer! (I just wish the product wasn't so expensive!)
